Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
She was born Friday evening, August 2 at 6:23 pm and weighed 7 pounds 10 ounces. Nathaniel and Abby Zuck are feeling blessed as is her big brother Anthony. We went to see her for the first time on Sunday evening, August 4. This is the first picture we received of her when Nate and […]
Sunday Lunch, August 4 We had a small group, but we had so much fun that I forgot to take pictures. (This is the only one I took.) Left to Right: Dale, Dot, Sharon, Jeff, Donna, Phil, Marlin, Nancy (partially hidden), Chris, Denny, Bonnie and Hazel. We spent the entire time in our air conditioned […]
Saturday Evening, August 3 We went to the picnic right after the funeral lunch for my cousin Tim. Since we were a bit early, we stopped at TFC’s Harrisburg Chapel – located at Wilco Travel Plaza at I-81, Exit 77. Associate Chaplain Ed was on duty and was working on his daily reports before going […]
Saturday, August 3 https://lancasteronline.com/obituaries/timothy-j-hawthorne-sr/article_cdc0b75d-92d7-53e2-bb3d-26f94ad60567.html It is a bit sobering to see the obituary of a younger cousin. When we arrived at the funeral home for his memorial service, it was obvious that he was a motorcycle fan. 🙂 Many of his cycle friends came to pay tribute to him. Following the funeral meal, and enjoying […]
Friday Morning, August 2 Our niece Karen (left) called to say they were husking corn at the farm – and I could come get some if I wanted corn for supper. So, I grabbed my camera as I sensed a good photo opportunity. L to R: Karen, Ashlea, Fern, Nancy, Lindsey, Earl, Marian, Miranda, Heidi. […]
Thursday Morning, August 1 After posting about Duck Donuts the other week, Deb and I decided to meet there – about half way between our houses – so I could give her some things I had for her. Because Deb has her own layout-and-design business, she spent some time handling phone calls – as it […]
Thursday, August 1 I was amused to watch this squirrel place his tail over his body during a fairly heavy rain. I must have seen this before – because we have so many in our yard – but I don’t remember it. God certainly created creative critters. 🙂
We love you! Grandpa and Grandma High
July 31, 2019 It was truly delightful to have lunch at Oregon Dairy with twenty Sauder cousins. We love this quarterly (4 times a year) lunch and hearing what is going on with the Sauder cousins and their families. There is usually a cousin update of surgeries, illnesses, etc. before prayer for the meal. When […]
The other day – as I was leaving the house to take lunch to someone – the sight of these two young deer almost took my breath away because we are not used to seeing them in our yard. Had I not been leaving the house, I could have easily missed them. When these pictures […]
Sunday Evening, July 28 Cute little Ashlea as a baby. A graduation photo. Ashlea is the daughter of our niece Karen and her husband, Larry. There were lots of family and friends who enjoyed the celebration at the Hershey Family homestead. Isaac (my sister Nancy & Marlin’s grandson) went back and forth between his parents […]
Friday, July 26 Tucker came running with a tiny sand crab in her hands and told her mom, “Fill my bucket with water. He needs water.” Jesse and Ian started a sand dam for holding water. Tucker joined them after putting her crab in a bucket of water. Waves threatened the walls, but they kept […]
Sunday, July 14 Cerwin’s cousin John was grilling hamburgers and hot dogs when we arrived at High Sports – owned by John’s parents Sam and Betty. Cerwin’s oldest living aunt – Alice on the left – making choices at the food table with the help of her son Eric. If I remember correctly, she is […]
Remember when I posted this picture from June 9 – of corn being planted in the field below us? This is what it looked like the other day – nine days later – after weekly rains and humidity. Soil (or dirt) is an interesting study and is far from what appears to be a dead […]
Wednesday, May 15 We noticed lots of beauty as we drove home from T.J. Rockwell’s after enjoying the birthday supper (previous post). A jet in the sky Evening moon I enjoyed traveling on a back road that was not familiar to me. I noticed this unusual fungi on a tree near our place and told […]
We love you! Grandpa & Grandma High

You may remember that I showed this partially stitched truck to you earlier this year. It is a really neat old Chevy owned by Jeff and Chris. I finished it a few weeks ago and took it to AC Moore for framing. It looks nice in our living room.
